A new study, which appears today in the online edition of the European Heart Journal, has found strong evidence that recent respiratory infections increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, both of which are more common in the winter. view more (2007-12-06)
Scientists find infection history must play key role in vaccine development
Under Strict Embargo for 00.01hrs GMT Monday 6 November 2000 The timing and design of vaccines used to immunise against lung infections may have to change in the light of research findings by Imperial College scientists (1). The research published today in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, shows for the first time that the previous... view more... (2000-11-03)

Model of pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV forecasts benefits, potential cost-effectiveness
For every two people who begin treatment for HIV infection globally, five others become newly infected. Therefore, preventing new HIV infections is the foremost strategy for ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. view more (2009-02-10)
